Have you ever been on a rollercoaster and wonderedwhat kind of energy is flowing thruogh you well now youwill know. The rollercoaster starts with little GPE because it is not moving and it's off the ground a little . At point 1 the rollercoaster has a lot of GPE because it is at the higheist point and it has the potential to go down the hill. At point 1 the rollercoaster has little KE because it is not going fast. For point 2 the rollercoaster has little GPE because it just came down from the hill so it is off the ground a little. At point 2 the rollercoaster has a lot of KE because it is going down the hill gaining speed. On point 4 there is ¾ GPE because, it has potential to go down the other side of the hill. On point 4 there is ¼ KE because it is going slowly around the top of the loop. KE and GPE are connected because GPE turns into KE because it gains speed as it goe’s farther.
